I must say, I wish they'd quit using all those Styrofoam peanuts. 

Any chance they are the biodegradable type? They melt in water and are compostable. I've let one dissolve on my tongue as a demonstration 

Right - see above mention of them.  Those, I run down the drain.

Second, why do you have to go to the post office every time? I maintain top-rated status and use a convenient mailbox for 90% of my shipments. You can also schedule a pickup.

Yea, but you probably live in one of those, you know..... nice neighborhoods

My post office is about five blocks from the house.  The neighborhoods around town here are mostly "mixed", with a few "nice" ones and a whole lot more "not so nice" ones.

I used to schedule pick-ups, but they weren't always plugged into the tracking system.  So now I drop stuff off at the p.o. and get a receipt.

I'm thinking about adding this statement to the description of my ebay auctions......

GO GREEN.... Submitting payment on day auction ends helps

reduce trips to post office and helps save the planet.

 

Who knows if it will motivate or make a difference or even be read since it will be at the end of my description..... Not everyone has the convenience of a post office nearby and since I offer shipping within two days after payment I'm sometimes making multiple trips, eating up gas and my time. Some may have a good reason or need to wait until next pay check (?) but it does bug me when someone makes a last minute buy and then doesn't pay for 4 or 5 days and I need to fit in a post office run.

 

Discuss....

It used to bother me, but then one day, I just stopped caring and let ebay send the reminders...

Do you leave packages in your own mailbox or one of the large blue ones that you can see at Supermarkets?

A good, old-fashioned blue USPS mailbox at a small strip mall located down the street from my job.

Is there any weight limit? How about Media Mail? Can you drop that off?

And if the buyer doesn't pay, after a specified time (unsure as to how long after an item closes that option is open to sellers) you can open an unpaid item case. They then have 4 days to pay or they receive an unpaid strike, which the end result of means absolutely nothing at all.

Yikes!!! A rare cd4ever appearance!

I get them there newspapers as packing material in quite a few boxes of comics.  Must be the older crowd.

I use the bubblewrap that others send me, but I currently have an eight garbage bag full surplus of that stuff.  I may have to go out in the woods and burn a few sacks, and release some of that wonderful plastic into the atmosphere.

Thanks... but closest mailbox is at the post office (They're getting as scarce as phone booths around here) and mail couriers in my area are too chicken slick to drive down the single lane road, on a hillside, to my house. Otherwise, great suggestions.

...and I've been convinced to just shut up and enjoy the chaos.
